## Monthly review counts, oldest to newest (20 months)

416, 127, 51, 44, 31, 24, 16, 24, 17, 20, 17, 42, 20, 19, 19, 13, 18, 12, 10, 12

## Markets by review language

- russian: 1% (game NOT localized in this language)
- spanish: 1% (game NOT localized in this language)
- japanese: 2%
- schinese: 57%
- brazilian: 0% (game NOT localized in this language)
- french: 0% (game NOT localized in this language)
- english: 18%
- koreana: 20% (game NOT localized in this language)

Localization gap: 23% of measured reviews are written in languages the game does not support (top: koreana). Localizing is likely immediate market expansion.

## Methodology

Units are estimated from Steam-purchase reviews times a release-cohort multiplier (Boxleiter method, 20-75x by year). Revenue uses an effective price (lifetime discounts and regional pricing) and nets out VAT (~13%), refunds (~9.5%) and Steam's 30% cut: roughly 55% of gross reaches the developer.
